Bridges

I would like to introduce you to William Weir Bridges and his new bride, Lenna May White. As I continue to scan photos for others, this one caught my attention for some reason and I wanted to make it available here.

Will & Lena Bridges at Thomas Studios in Salt Lake City

I really do not know anything about them other than their names. Some quick research tells me William Weir Bridges was born 15 April 1891 in Ogden, Weber, Utah and died 9 May 1959 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah. He is buried in Sandy, Salt Lake, Utah although I do not know which cemetery. This photo is likely in the collection because Will’s mother is Janet Fyfe (aka Fife)(1873-1953), half-sister to Agnes Fyfe (1903-1994) as referenced by Dale Vern Ashcraft. I have also written of another sister, Charlotte Fyfe.

Lenna “Lena” May White was born 30 March 1898 in Salt Lake City and died 7 June 1974 in Murray, Salt Lake, Utah. She is also buried in Sandy. The two married 1 July 1915 in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. This photo was likely taken near their wedding date.
